Fabrication Foundry Unable to Select Pay Cost Cards
I had more than 3 mana available to pay the second cost of Fabrication Foundry to exile one or more artifacts with mana value X, to return artifact from my grave with mana value X or less. I had Annex Sentry and The Celestus in my grave, both 3 mana costed. I had two copies of Clay-Fired Bricks on the battlefield. I could select the Annex Sentry or Celestus, but the game would not recognize Clay-Fired Bricks as a selectable card to exile. I could not select either copy.
Given this is a key piece of my deck, and the Azorius artifact deck in general, can we please prioritize a bug fix? I really wanted to ladder as part of my content creation channel on Youtube.

He was trying to exile 2 Bricks to get a 3-mana cost artifact back.

Rezzahan is mostly right. Except you can't use Clay-Fired Bricks to pay for it's own exile cost. You have to exile ANOTHER artifact.

That's because you are misunderstanding, how the card works. You have to exile artifacts with EXCACTLY total mana cost X, then you get to return an artifact with mana value X or less. The X is the mana value of what you exile, not of what you want to return. To get your 3 mana artifact from the graveyard with only 2 Clay-Fired Bricks, you have to choose X=4 and then exile both.
